@swepri I guess so, if it works it works, problem is, is that it seems like the plastic covering chipped à bit. Could you just put like masking tape to make sure glue doesnt go into what seems to be…   Read more»

@swepri completely agree. I’d planned to use some of the mahogany off cuts from the build, but like to have a plan and thought it was worth me checking that my thinking wasn’t off.  I guess I should have just…   Read more»

@Robin @swepri, thank you very much for the links, I from France, so  guitarsandwoods would prob work better for me, althouh how much does markbailey price for his fretboards? Thank you again 

@swepri good idea! Thank you!

@swepri for my very first build I want to follow the course. So I opted to purchase a TOM bridge and 3×3 tuners. However I’ll still use my P90 pickups

@swepri Thanks so much. I have access to a lovely maker space here so I hope to put the tools and myself to work this week! I’ll try to post photos here, but I’ll definitely have them on instagram _kali_guitar_

 
@swepri – because they only have four fingers?
😊
 

@swepri That’s an approach I’ve used often, usually before clearing out with a chisel e.g. in cutting a mortise. Would definitely reduce the amount of material to be routed out.👍😃

@swepri it’s a bit nervy but I just followed Marks vid and it came out great! Gave me a right buzz!

Thanks @robin @swepri @boo Agree – I need to find a better matched piece of wood.  I used up some “spare” bits making this one, working out how to get the shape out of the spare piece of wood rather…   Read more»

It could be worth checking the A string nut slot to make sure the string leaves crisp right at the end of the slot.

Thats a good call, I’ll check that when I’m changing the strings.

@swepri  I think it would get worse with thicker strings, needing longer free length. Maybe a bridge with a little more adjustment range could fix it? If you have another A string, you could try that first. Sometimes (very rarely)…   Read more»

@swepri I get bored and restless lol

Thank you @swepri for sharing this video.

@swepri going with a hard wax oil, it’s like 8 hours between coats then probably something crazy like a week to cure! I’m going to need patience lol

@swepri 
those look great, my intimidation is that I’ll screw up the soldering of the pickups…
that cabinet looks about 36″ long? nice various sizes of drawers…

@swepri  that’s awesome, Brosky…I’m working on my first electric build…mostly to get reacquainted with woodworking to intricate plans…i used to frame houses, lol…my boyz will want me to build another electric guitar, but I’m leaning toward a couple of Mandolins…   Read more»

What projects are you working on? Is this new for you…I’m new at building and repairing – Retired to Luthier from career in Land Surveying/house framing in 2018.

@swepri   on EBAY, around $65 [USA currency] for a good complete set [6 pieces], …from a knock-off company; the best would be from a company called ‘Beard’ at $65 and $35 each piece – didn’t go with the very best…   Read more»
